Western Australia

Shiraz

The beauty of this wonderful vintage is evident immediately. The brilliance of the colour; the perfumes of the nose; and the vibrancy on the palate. Perfumed plum and blackberry nuances with floral notes and a little spice. The palate is exquisitely crafted and presented with vibrant high energy. One of the best of this line.

Swan Valley

Shiraz

A sumptuous shiraz from a warm year, loaded with dark fruits—blackberry, plum—and a subtle coffee-grinds and cocoa character. Vanilla and oak integrate with slightly cracked pepper notes. Displays good depth and concentration, delivering to a long, sustained finish that is impeccably balanced and poised.

Swan Valley

Shiraz

A beautiful example of Swan Valley shiraz from this warmer season that produced excellent fruit of balance and poise. Spicy plum and clove with a little cedar on the nose, and then a supple, soft, generous palate of typically medium body from the Swan, but displaying great depth of fruit and a pure, sustained finish. Excellent wine.

Swan Valley

Shiraz

A bright and vibrant shiraz cabernet blend from the Swan valley. Generous ripe fruit aromas on the nose with a spicy plum and chocolate combination. The soft supple influence of the Swan Valley emerges on the palate which is soft and generous with good fruit intensity. Has the structure to handle cellaring.

Swan Valley

Merlot

Well, you don’t often see wines of this age being released. It provides compelling evidence of the age worthiness of this variety when you get some good fruit quality. The bright fruits of the nose are only just beginning to change into that leathery spicy character of age. The palate has developed really beautifully with a lovely viscous coating accentuating...

Swan Valley

Shiraz

A rather delicious and flavoursome shiraz of generosity and deep intensity. Has such beautiful palate weight with soft tannin and a lick of oak playing deft understated roles. Realy bright colours are captured in the lifted perfume nose and the supple sweet fruit palate.

Swan Valley

Shiraz

A generous, full-bodied, powerful wine from this very good vintage. Aromas of blackberry, plum, spices and dark chocolate are all present. The palate offers a sumptuous, concentrated fruit mix, balanced with judicious use of American oak for 12 months. The oak complements the slightly peppery character of the shiraz beautifully.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This first-rate vintage has been expertly harnessed into a classy blend. It picks up the red fruits of malbec, which work seamlessly into the darker, more powerfully structured fruit of cabernet. Mulberry, plummy redcurrant and a fine chalky edge come together, while a subtle, slightly meaty blackcurrant note adds layered complexity. The palate is supple, juicy and generous, supported by...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This comes from the outstanding 2020 vintage. It was small but super concentrated with powerful fruit intensity. Brilliant light red and crimson colour shimmers in the glass. The nose in in that red fruit zone with a redcurrant and understated blackcurrant with a little glazed cherry The palate is more in the medium bodied zone, but the power of the...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine reflects the cooler 2021 vintage, showing a medium-weight, elegant and refined expression of Margaret River cabernet. Juicy blackberry and plummy characters are lifted with a touch of spice and leafiness. Bright and energetic, it bounces along the palate to a focused finish. Best enjoyed in the shorter term.

Margaret River

Malbec

A super year for malbec in Margaret River and this translates into an excellent example of the variety. It’s largely malbec but there are small contributions from cabernet and petit verdot adding colour and structure. Neatly integrated with bright red fruits dominant. Has all the raspberry and spicy chocolate characters you expect. Supported by a chalky tannin profile. Excellent wine.

Margaret River

Malbec

The first thing you notice is the colour. It's so deep and dark, yet there is a brightness about it. A beautiful, juicy, plush, ripe malbec from this warm year, which actually seemed particularly well suited to the variety. Loaded with bright red fruits, showing a hint of stewed rhubarb. Soft, succulent and supple, with a juiciness that highlights the...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

An appealing medium bodied blend of dominant cabernet with merlot and petit verdot bringing their influences to the mid palate. Has a lifted aroma of blackcurrant and typical bay leaf on the nose with the faintest thread of graphite. The palate is focused and controlled with firmish fine tannins and a little oak holding the line through to a nice...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a first-rate wine from this terrific vintage and probably the best I've seen under this label. It's medium-bodied but with good flavour intensity. A nice mix of blackcurrant and florals on the nose. The palate is elegant, balanced and poised, striking a perfect balance between oak, fruit and tannins. It's deceptively long as it builds through to its...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

An elegant and most stylish cabernet reflecting this beautiful vintage in Margaret River. On the nose, there are layers of blackcurrant, cedar, and subtle tobacco leaf, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and dried herbs. The palate is rich and structured, showcasing ripe black fruits, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savoury finish. A wine of great balance and finesse.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

An impressive cabernet from an excellent season. It’s powerful yet refined and stylish. Aromas show tobacco and bay leaf over black olive with underlying plummy blackcurrant. The striking feature is its brightness, with energy running through a finely balanced palate of pristine fruit. Still youthful and tight, but it will develop character with age.

Pemberton

Cabernet Sauvignon

Comes from Kosovich's Pemberton Vineyard, which he planted quite a few years ago now. The season was nigh on perfect. The aromas are lifted florals of red berry, blackcurrant, a little liqueur cherry. And then the palate is generous, medium-bodied, with succulent, juicy fruit characters. Buoyant with succulent red berries. Tannins show a fine chalky thread, and the oak is...

Swan Valley

Red Blend

A really interesting combination in that it's a blending of two varieties which are more bit players when married with cabernet predominantly. But a coolish, long ripening period in the Swan Valley has suited this wine absolutely perfectly. Beautiful black fruits on the nose. A little nuanced red fruit from the malbec and the darker fruits of the petit verdot....

Pemberton

Red Blend

This combination of varieties has always been one preferred by the Kosovichs, and in this case, it comes from Pemberton. It's an example of the cooler climate influence on these varieties. Small open vat fermentation and then time in barrels for about 12 months has created a wine of elegance and style. The reserve wine is only made in the...

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

The Kosovichs source this from their Pemberton vineyard. It's an effortless wine of structure and poise. Cloves and spices with a dark liqueur cherry character on the nose. The palate is plush but there is a firmish core to support. Balanced and intense with a long finish.

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

Kosovich sources this from down at Pemberton where the guys planted a vineyard years ago. This is an excellent example of what they are doing. Aromas of bright red fruit showing a raspberry and light cherry combination. Bright crimson colour leads into a light bodied palate. But this has the firm core of serious pinot, a crisp fine acidity and...

Swan Valley

Petit Verdot

Petit verdot likes a little warmth, so the Swan Valley is ideally suited to it. But this slightly cooler year just toned things down a bit and it's produced an absolutely exquisite example of what the Swan Valley can do. Lifted floral perfume notes with red berry and lightly cedary oak and then a palate that is rich and generous,...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

A blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc, petit verdot and merlot. It’s a medium bodied product of this cooler vintage, yet there is an intensity and concentration of fruit that presents beautifully from the nose though to the balanced palate. Bright red and black fruits with a delightful perfume open on the nose. The palate is an intricate weave...

Margaret River

Red Blend

The rich opulence of the 2022 vintage is clearly evident in this classic Bordeaux blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot, and malbec. Displays bright red intense fruit on the nose with a blackberry-blackcurrant combination, and then the palate, which is soft, supple, but still with a firm, fine thread for structure. It's one of the better examples...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The vineyard planted in 1973 is one of the oldest in Margaret River. It's a wine that makes a serious statement about Wilyabrup and old vines. It was a great year, and this is reflected win the powerful combination of concentrated blackcurrant and dark chocolate fruit dominating the palate. The nose shows more minerally oyster shell and subtle graphite. A...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine comes from one of the earliest plantings in Margaret River. The Wilyabrup site was planted way back in 1973 and has been maintained as unirrigated before progressing to sustainable organic farming. This is one of the more elegant examples of this wine and an impressive follow-up to the 2018. The bay leaf and blackcurrant combination on the nose,...

Margaret River

Red Blend

Made as a ready to drink red wine. It's a cabernet dominant blend with the firm varietal core driving the structure of a pleasing and flavoursome red. It's medium bodied with a dark fruit combination displaying a little bay leaf and black olive,

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A powerful and intense cabernet sourced from original dry-grown vines that are now more than 50 years old. Concentrated notes of leafy blackcurrant and a chocolate and bay leaf addition. Seamlessly and smoothly textured palate with a minerally seashell thread revealing a touch of graphite. This is a mighty good wine for the price. So bright and alive.

Great Southern

Pinot Noir

This vineyard was a great investment by Paul Nelson. It is starting to produce some really outstanding wines. This is certainly one of them. It was 20% whole bunch in fermentation and hand plunged. Had three weeks on skins and then basket pressed to a mix of new puncheons and older barriques. Has a beautiful talcy feel on the palate....

Great Southern

Pinot Noir

I can't remember when I tasted my first Karriview pinot, but it was a long time ago. The vineyard is now in the hands of Paul Nelson and is making some wines that truly express character and vineyard terroir. The aromas are of slightly chalky, stalky red fruits with a cherry, raspberry combination. The palate has a fine thread of...

Frankland River

Shiraz

A super concentrated and intensely presented shiraz from Frankland River. It’s a great example of the generous style that can be delivered with such refinement from this great shiraz region. Dark plum and licorice with a hint of ferrous ironstone characters on the nose. The palate is seamlessly integrated with grainy minerally tannins and liberal use of oak combining perfectly...

Frankland River

Shiraz

One of two shiraz from Frankland’s Swinney vineyard, with extended maceration allowing the tannins to lengthen, soften and ripen perfectly. Has a slightly spicy charcuterie character on the nose but with a distinctive fennel character which is part of the clonal influence. It has energy and vibrancy here with definition and detail. You should check out the Waldron Clone shiraz...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This comes from the Treeton and Jolliffe vineyards. They are in barrels that work for this style rather than being inferior. The aroma has a minerally chalky character. It's a slightly different expression of Margaret River cabernet with some more blue fruits. It has a fair time on skins to build texture, aromatics and length. The colour is brilliant and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This comes from a dry- grown vineyard on Pusy Road. Fermented in open pot fermenters, hand plunged, and an extended maceration to provide length and elegance with fine tannin. Had eight months in oak and some in a terracotta egg and some in ceramic. It also gets about 40% new oak. This is a beautiful wine of poise and elegance...

Frankland River

Shiraz

This is quite different from the 470 clone. It's a softer and more supple character. On the nose there are lifted notes of blue fruit. The ironstone characters really thread through here. The cuttings came from New Zealand's Hawke's Bay region. No acid additions or tannins with no fining. The colour is so brilliant and bright with energy in abundance....

Margaret River

Pinot Noir

This is Peterkin’s first crack at making pinot noir, following the inspiration of working a vintage in Burgundy. I have to say, it’s a mighty good first-up effort. Mind you, his father, Mike, has been dabbling in pinot for many years with vines that are now 45 years old. It follows a reasonably typical approach, with some whole bunch fermentation...

Margaret River

Red Blend

I was fascinated to see what Peterkin would do with this blend of Portuguese varieties — touriga nacional, tinta cão, and sousão, from the 2023 vintage. To say I was not disappointed is an understatement. It is a brilliant wine loaded with rich, vibrant fruit, displaying slightly spicy plummy notes and dark chocolate richness. There’s energy and life coursing through...

Geographe

Tempranillo

Oh gosh, I do love this wine. It’s largely tempranillo with a small amount of cabernet adding structure. A hands-on approach has been adopted with handpicking, hand plunging and wild yeasts. It’s bright and fruity with vibrant red fruit characters emerging on the nose and palate. Has that subtle black fruit underlay with touches of savouriness and a little lift...

Geographe

Tempranillo

From the 52 Stones vineyard in Ferguson Valley, this tempranillo was wild-yeast fermented with whole berries and hand-plunged throughout. After gentle pressing, it matured in older French oak for nine months, again topped with stones to maintain fullness. The wine is fruity, juicy, and supple, with classic dried herb and raspberry notes. Smooth and approachable, it’s evocative of Spain and...
